Why The Denver Nuggets Do The Deal

We already touched on the similarity between Donovan Mitchell and Jamal Murray. Luckily, that doesn’t need to be a problem for the Denver Nuggets.

Both are ball-dominant, score-first guards. For many teams, that would rule out the viability of pairing them. On the other hand, most teams don’t roster Nikola Jokic.

Realistically, Jokic is the best passing big man in NBA history. Two scoring guards should work alongside his prodigious floor vision. Furthermore, the fact that Murray and Mitchell are both lethal three-point threats ought to keep this offense humming.

Yes, the Nuggets will be parting with the little remaining draft capital they can here. They’ll need their new Big Three of Jokic, Mitchell, and Murray to work – they’ll have no recourse to improve this team if it doesn’t.
